Return FAQs - LMR.com

Insure your return package. If a package arrives damaged, LatemodelRestoration.com will contact you so you can initiate a claim with your shipper. We will hold the package and all packaging material for inspection by your shipper.

Make sure package has the appropriate packing material. Make sure any product protection material is in place as when it was received. UPS requires 2 inches of cushion between package and product.

Do not return products in just the display packaging. The packaging is for display and will not hold up to shipping.

Visibly write RMA or exchange numbers on the package, preferably in permanent marker. This is in case your shipping label is damaged or unreadable.

Can I return a close-out or clearance item?

All sales on closeout or clearance items are final. No returns will be allowed on these items.

Is it mandatory to have an RMA number in order to return a product?

Yes! You must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization ("RMA") number. This is to ensure proper control of your return. LatemodelRestoration.com will not accept returns without prior authorization and an RMA number. Once issued, we must receive your return within 30 days; if we do not receive your return within 30 days you must contact us again to receive a new RMA number.

Although we pride ourselves on the speedy process of your return, it may take your financial institution a little longer to post your refund.
